It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-47493 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47493/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47493/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-47493","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47493/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-47493","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2021-47493","GHSA-gr8j-3pfp-wwr2","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-47493"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the OCFS2 filesystem can cause a kernel panic, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nocfs2: fix race between searching chunks and release journal_head from buffer_head\n\nEncountered a race between ocfs2_test_bg_bit_allocatable() and\njbd2_journal_put_journal_head() resulting in the below vmcore.\n\n  PID: 106879  TASK: ffff880244ba9c00  CPU: 2   COMMAND: \"loop3\"\n  Call trace:\n    panic\n    oops_end\n    no_context\n    __bad_area_nosemaphore\n    bad_area_nosemaphore\n    __do_page_fault\n    do_page_fault\n    page_fault\n      [exception RIP: ocfs2_block_group_find_clear_bits+316]\n    ocfs2_block_group_find_clear_bits [ocfs2]\n    ocfs2_cluster_group_search [ocfs2]\n    ocfs2_search_chain [ocfs2]\n    ocfs2_claim_suballoc_bits [ocfs2]\n    __ocfs2_claim_clusters [ocfs2]\n    ocfs2_claim_clusters [ocfs2]\n    ocfs2_local_alloc_slide_window [ocfs2]\n    ocfs2_reserve_local_alloc_bits [ocfs2]\n    ocfs2_reserve_clusters_with_limit [ocfs2]\n    ocfs2_reserve_clusters [ocfs2]\n    ocfs2_lock_refcount_allocators [ocfs2]\n    ocfs2_make_clusters_writable [ocfs2]\n    ocfs2_replace_cow [ocfs2]\n    ocfs2_refcount_cow [ocfs2]\n    ocfs2_file_write_iter [ocfs2]\n    lo_rw_aio\n    loop_queue_work\n    kthread_worker_fn\n    kthread\n    ret_from_fork\n\nWhen ocfs2_test_bg_bit_allocatable() called bh2jh(bg_bh), the\nbg_bh-\u003eb_private NULL as jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() raced and\nreleased the jounal head from the buffer head.
